Why would a semicolon need to be escaped? It should only be needed for things like linefeeds, tabs, and the backslash itself.
Don't forget that you can prefix a string literal with the "@" character, and no escaping will be done.

Have you tried: ";" ???
You obviously have, since you're asking the question here, but it works fine on my machine... no escaping necessary.
